"I have been searching all over
the WWW for something, anything, regarding "Make A Wish". The host
was a guy that was kind of laid back in a Cat Stevens (pre-Islam)
- James Taylor sort of way. It was only thirty minutes long and would
only air Sunday mornings on ABC.

The
show would take one word, like fish, and then literally take it around
the world! "I wish I were a fish then I would swim in the ocean that
is created by rain, that came from the clouds etc, etc". Total stream
of consciousness stuff.

If you can find anything on this show it would be appreciated. I somehow
got stranded on this parallel Earth and have forgotten how to get back
to my own world - where this show is revered as the classic children
show it is."

"Make
A Wish" was a Sunday morning series starring Tom Chapin, produced, written
and directed by Lester Cooper. Educational in nature, this show is fondly
remembered for the original folksy tunes, written and sung by Tom Chapin
(singer Harry Chapin's bother). Different subjects were explored each
week, but in 1975 the show's focus shifted to Bicentennial themes.

'Make
A Wish' was one of those rare educational shows that kids actually liked
and parent groups lauded with awards. The premier episode of the Bicentennial
season (on September 7, 1975) looked back at the first trans-continental
railway.
